The Legal Risk Score of a Child Care Agreement Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • While there are risks associated with childcare, these stem from the performance of the service rather than the agreement itself.
  • Either party may terminate for convenience.
  • The carer may substitute another registered child-minder in cases of emergency or short notice non-availability, potentially leading to variability in the quality or consistency of care provided.
